About this study

Official title: Relationship Between Right Ventricular Free Wall Longitudinal Strain and Stroke Volume Index by Thermodilution in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting up tp 30% will develop postoperative right ventricle dysfunction. Its imperative for the physician to fully understand the severity of this complication in order to perform an early diagnosis and carry out the appropriate treatment.

Aim:

Read more

Investigate the correlation between echocardiographic measurements and hemodynamic changes at different time points in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery

Hypothesis:

  1. Weak correlation between echocardiographic measurements and hemodynamic changes during coronary artery bypass graft surgery
  2. Echocardiographic measurements would change across different time points during surgery independent of hemodynamic values.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change of right ventricular function during CABG assessed by right heart strain (%)

    Assessing the change of RV function during CABG surgery using right heart strain as a percentage of change between RV shortening and RV end diastolic length.

    Measured: during CABG surgery

  2. Change of right ventricular function during CABG assessed by stroke volume index (mL/m2)

    Assessing the change of RV function during CABG surgery using stroke volume index. Stroke volume index measurement as millilitres per square meter (ml/m2)

    Measured: during CABG surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in cardiac output measured with Swan-Ganz during CABG

    Cardiac output (L/min) measured with the thermodilution technique

    Measured: during CABG surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Right Ventricular Dysfunction and Stroke Volume Index, run by Tufts Medical Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change of right ventricular function during CABG assessed by right heart strain (%) (time frame: during CABG surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Apr 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 1 Nov 2026.
